Debbie first graced the Cobbles in 1984 as Kevin’s sister, played by Michael Le Vell. After departing in 1985, she made a dramatic comeback in 2019. Taking the reins of the Chariot Square hotel not long ago, Debbie has quickly become a beloved character with viewers.
In recent months, Debbie was forced to step in when she noticed Kevin and Abi’s relationship was on the rocks. Little did she know, Abi has been secretly sleeping with Debbie’s other brother, Carl.
Their lustful affair has gone from strength to strength, with Abi even avoiding a family holiday so she could spend more time with Carl, despite Debbie arranging the trip for her and Kevin.
It has recently been confirmed that Debbie is set to depart the cobbles in a heartbreaking storyline set to play out on screen. She was diagnosed with early on-set dementia and has continued to come to terms with the diagnosis with her family and friends by her side.
The next few months will see Debbie embark on her own health journey as she comes to terms with the diagnosis and what it will mean for her and her loved ones.
Away from the cameras, Sue Devaney’s life is thankfully less turbulent. She regularly keeps fans updated on her busy life away from showbiz to her followers on Instagram.
Sue recently attended the National Television Awards with the Coronation Street cast. The star-studded event returned in all its glory last week as our favourite TV stars headed to London’s O2 Arena in their finest outfits for the event.
The actress was up for the Serial Drama Performance award at the ceremony. It was a fierce category, as she went up against Jacqueline Jossa, Steve MacFadden and her Corrie co-star Jack P Shepherd. But it was EastEnders star Steve MacFadden who took home the prize for his role as Phil Mitchell in the BBC soap.

Despite Coronation Street’s loss, several of the Corrie stars posted their stunning snaps from the evening. In a recent post on Instagram, Sue shared a photo of herself on the red carpet. She smiled at the cameras while wearing a green and red tartan two-piece suit, finishing off with silver heels.
She captioned the photo with a heartfelt message, revealing she felt “special”. She wrote: “Played out last week at the NTAs. Had a very nice time indeed with all my friends and my husband. Thank you Vivian Westwood for making me feel very special.
“Hair and makeup by the wonderful @kathryn__wilkes. Thanks for dressing me up @zombiecatgirl_alt_model and helping me pick the Viv!”
